A total of 236 enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 isolates in Japan were investigated by bacteriophage typing, and the results were compared with those of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Seven phage types (PTs) were observed in 71 isolates which were derived from 22 outbreaks. All of the isolates from ten outbreaks in the Kinki region (midwestern part of Japan) in July-August 1996 were grouped into the same PFGE type (IIa) and PT 32, while among total isolates, there were such varieties as PFGE type IIa containing five phage types and PT32 containing two PFGE types. These results suggest that the ten outbreaks should be considered to be a single outbreak, and show that the combined use of bacteriophage typing and PFGE enhances reliability in epidemiological surveys.
